Cfake, a Toolbox for Checking What the Internet Is Showing You
A collection of browser-based utilities for inspecting media metadata, domains, redirects, security headers, hashes, and suspicious links.
Field notes
Cfake organizes its advertised ten utilities by evidence type: media and image forensics, web and domain checks, file integrity, and linguistic analysis. The tool descriptions include concrete operations such as reading camera and GPS metadata, checking magic bytes against file extensions, tracing multi-hop redirects, and testing IDN homoglyphs. The homepage also says checksum calculations use browser-native WebCrypto and that files remain in browser memory, though those implementation and privacy claims are presented by the site rather than demonstrated in the extract.
